Issue

I went upto here to add an image to my android app but there is an error line:

String pathName = "chemistry\2013_03_26\chemistry1.pdf";//Error line
Resources res = getResources();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathName);
BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable(res, bitmap);
View view = findViewById(R.id.container);
view.setBackgroundDrawable(bd);

Solution

I think you should use absolute path with getFilesDir() or getExternalFileDir().
